Gemusetto Machu Picchu

The show is a good parody of anime which seems to be what most of these negative reviews don't seem to get. It is pretty funny in how it mocks the tropes of the genre in a 'so bad it's good' kind of way and doubles down on the frequently repeated parts of the anime medium. Pretty good for a show literally made to be nothing more than an April Fools joke from adult swim!

This show somehow got a second season and a hour long (hopefully series) finale. That's insanity. For a show that is fueled by raunchy ADHD non sequitur humor, it somehow feels longer and way more boring than it should be. The main character is completely unlikable and has an unbearably annoying voice. Most jokes fall flat. Did they find the most mediocre YouTube animator and tell him to write a show?

The only reason I'm giving this show a 2 star rating is because the soundtrack has some great tracks, however the musical talent is wasted on the final product. If you choose to watch this show after reading this review I'm sorry for the amount of life you will have wasted. Adult Swim has so many other great programs and you're better off rewatching your favorites.

If you can get past its awkward animation and silly yet sometimes raunchy script. You'll find a lot to like, especially the music. If you've sat through Neon Genesis Evangelion then this will be a cake walk.

If you don't enjoy hallucinogens or adult swim humor(they usually go hand in hand) this will probably just confuse you and make you angry.

But if you do, then oh boy, you are in for a treat.

We actually had to pause this half way through and cool down with an episode of Blue Planet, we were laughing constantly, Simonet is a genius!

If you like things like Tim and Eric's Bedtime Stories, Xavier: Renegade Angel, and Superjail, you'll probably love this. The writing is incongruous, the plot is all over the place, and the art style is hideous in the best of ways.

The first season is simply flawless in how flawed it is, maintaining a healthy self awareness throughout. You can see that time and love went into this project, and you'll eventually fall in love with all of the low-res jpeg characters. I love the music video breaks, which always serve the plot quite adeptly, I love the bizarre pacing and goofy, nonsensical writing, and despite the irreverant and parodic nature of it all, the ending was satisfying and meaningful. I love this show.

The second season lost all the charm, in my opinion, but it's not too bad.
